Operation
Stand-Alone Network
The four level buttons on a control panel correspond to the four router levels, with level 1 on the
left and level 4 on the right.
A level button is illuminated (in amber) if a router at that level is present in the network. The
button is dark if not.
A level button is high-tally when the level is selected and low-tally when not.
Exceptions
In most cases, the level buttons are toggles: press the level button to select the level, press the
button again to deselect the level. However, there is an exception: when you have selected
all
the levels in your network, pressing any level button deselects the other levels and leaves the
one you pressed selected.
Another exception is when you have only one router in your network. Pressing the level selec-
tion button has no effect. The single router is always selected.
Takes
A network of routers is capable of multi-level takes.
Follow these steps to perform a multi-level take:
1 Press the level buttons on a panel to select the levels for the take. Be aware of the level selec-
tion exceptions, listed under Exceptions above. The buttons for selected levels are high-tally.
2 Press ‘Destination Mode’.
3 Select a destination.
4 Press ‘Source Mode’.
5 Select a source.
The take is complete. A routing switch occurs on each level you selected at the remote panel
module.
Locks
Performing locks in a network is almost the same as performing locks for a stand-alone CR6400.
However, please note:
• Pressing ‘Panel Lock’ locks that panel and no other.
•
A destination lock locks a destination on all selected levels. The lock state of a destination is
not changed on unselected levels.
If all the selected levels of a destination are locked, the destination button is red. If some of
the selected levels of a destination are unlocked, the destination button is amber.
• A destination locked at one control panel cannot be unlocked at another control panel.
 Be sure to unlock any locks before removing a panel from a network!
•
Locks can be released using CRSC.
